Loving Kindness is essentially about cultivating love. It focuses on developing feelings of goodwill, kindness and warmth towards others that is unconditional. It is a quality of the heart that simply wishes well to all beings without seeking anything back in return. The easiest way to practice and cultivate loving kindness meditation is to direct it towards our loved ones and benefactors. This guided meditation serves exactly that purpose. We sit comfortably, relax the body and settle into our posture. We then call to mind someone we love, someone who has helped us, someone for whom a sense of care, love and goodwill naturally arises in our heart. It can be our partner, our parents, our children, our grandchildren or even pets. We get an image of them and say their names to ourselves. We get a feeling of their presence, and offer the phrases of loving kindness to them, wishing for them what we wish for ourselves.
